AN APPEAL TO WOOL-GROWERS

The National WOol-Growers' associa-
ton through Columbus Delano, the pres
ident. has issued the following:
"To the wool-growers of the United
States: The sentiment favoring free
trade in this country has been augmented
to the extent of the Presidents influence.
In announcing his sympathy with those
who do not encourage American indus
tries and domestic labor the executive
has emphasized his contempt for your in
dustry by proposing the repeal of all du-
ties on imported woods. You number
plovment to about 100000 more. Ev-
cry State, and nearly every comfy in
each State of the Union, has flocks and
flockmasters. Your focks generally are
small. your wealth limited and your To-
cations so scattered as to render organi-
cation and united action difficult. Once
the producers of 300,000,000 pounds of
wool annually, valued at Sl0O,O00,00O,
you have seen the unfriendly legislation
of 1888 check your growth and actually
reduce your focks in numbers and your
annual clip in quantity, to the extent of
Is per cent,
''These results followed small reduc-
ton of protective d uties. Now the Pres
ident proposes their abolition so that
South America and australia, with other
foreign nations, can supply the consump-
ton of the United States spindles and
looms. The officers of your national So
ciety desire to organize resistance to this
cruel attempt. In order to secure its de-
feat by active consolidated resistance
advise that you petition Congress freely
from alliparts of the country. Send let
tiers to congressman from every district.
Have each association of wool growers.
State, county, township or town pass and
forward appropriate resolutions, incite
the grangers or associations of husband
Ihen TO unite their voices with yours in
/urgng Congress to promote the welfare
of agriculture. Enfranchised freemen
may obtain justice and avoid oppression
by making those in authority understand
their wants. If you have not large or
consolidated wealth, you have votes.
Exercise wisely the power which this
privilege gives.
''The founders of our republic placed
in the hands of its people the power to
correct the errors of those who make OF
administer our laws without insurrection
or violence The executive has been mis-
informed. Remove this deception, and
let him and the nation know that you
will not submit to the proposed injustice
without resolute struggle"

PRICE OF WOOL IN JANUARY

But some one will say, there were COM
mercial troubles in 1857. and perhaps
they may have had an effect TO prouuce
such results. How a commerclal ue-
preston would operate to advance prices
of commodity like wool is dililcult
problem. But there is proof that the
commercial situation had nothing TO 90
with this particular matter, for when by
the act of 1867, and subsequent acts very
much heavier duties than those OF the
act of 1861 were imposed upon raw wool,
the price of the staple at once declined

A Bill has been Introduced in the
Georgia Legislature, seeking to es-
tablish an institution which Is
greatly needed In this state also,
and which IL constitution says
shall be established, "as soon rs
practicable" namely; n reformato-
ry prison or house of correction for
Juvenile offenders. If there ever
was O. time when such an iustitu-
ton was needed 1t is now, and no.
where more than In South Coroli-
ma. They have been established
by nearly every clzilized county on
the globe, and the actual statistics
show that more than so per cent
ofthose placed in such institutions
go away reformed, and lead virtu-
Gus lives. Children commit crimos
before they know their RESPONSE
bility, and the serious nature Of the
offence. When they go to tho pen
itentiary and mingle with the har-
dened criminals to be found there;
when they are daily thrown in con-
tact with them and listen to the
horrible accounts each has to re-
late, there is litt]e chance of their
ever becoming better, but rather,
they become so familiar with GRIM
inals and crime, that they 60 from
bad to worse. 1t would be better
from these juvenal offenders, bet
ter for society, to put them out Of
the way altogether. We have no
snaadsia sympathy for persona con-
victed Of crime. They should be
punished aud that too, to the ex-
tent that will deter them In the
future. But when we see so many
young children sent to this den of
iniamy, there to be companions Of
incarnate devils, and, whom we see
these persona, after the expiration
Of their imprisonment go and COM
NIT more serious offences, then we
realize the great responsibility res
ting upon tho state to provide a
house Of correction for Juvenile Of
tenders. A certain Judge told a
few days ago OF a prisoner who
was sent to the penitentiary when
quite young, and he is now serving
his fourth sentence. This is neith-
er strange nor exceptional.

killed Instantly, and strange it
was that the child being in her

was the case, all tho injury that
was preceptible was that the child
was a little stunned. This Is the
